Chapter 717: Li Zongren's Plan

And when the telegram reached the headquarters, the commander-in-chief and the commander-in-chief had not yet slept, they were both discussing the situation of the battle on this side in the headquarters, and when the commander-in-chief got the telegram sent by Division Commander Zhang, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Now we have to rest assured, and the troops of the independent division will be of great help to our entire battle situation, and it is estimated that the next step will be the victory of the entire battle.

But tell the other troops to hold on. Be sure to block the devils, I estimate that Commander Xu and Xiao Zhang will plan the next battle objectives of the independent division and send them to us! The commander-in-chief said happily with a telegram.

"Yes, it's a sigh of relief, it's been a big day these days, all the devils have been annihilated 5 divisions, and the commander of North China has been forced to commit suicide, and the commanders of the 5 divisions have all been annihilated, I guess, this is a dumbfounded handiwork, you find that there is no more, that bastard likes to annihilate all the devils, and if you can't let the devils run out, then you will resolutely not let them run out!" The commander also said with a sigh of relief.

These days, the two of them have a headache and a distress when they look at the whole battle situation, tens of thousands of soldiers are sacrificed every day, and the generals below have no soldiers under them, and now there is finally good news.

"I'll forward this telegram to Chongqing, it's also tight over there, I heard that the commander's anxious voice was hoarse, and he didn't dare to look at the battle damage every day, hey!" The commander-in-chief stood up and said.

"Well, go ahead, and make him happy too!" The commander nodded and said.

And the commander in Chongqing, who was still in his official residence, was still looking at the battle damage report that had just been sent, and after hesitating for a long time, he still opened the report, and the three people next to him, Li Zongren, Chen Cheng, and He Yingqin, all lowered their heads and did not dare to speak. At this time of the day, the three of them would feel very depressed.

"Another 110,000 were sacrificed, and 120,000 were killed or wounded! How many soldiers do we have! The commander asked, rubbing his temples as he closed the report.

"I'm sorry, Commander! We didn't play well! Li Zongren said immediately where he stood.

"I don't blame you, you fought very well, better than before, at least the defense line is still in our hands, and the casualties of the devils are not small!

Now I can see that the devil is also strong for a while, and if you survive this level, you will be a devil, so don't think about jumping! The commander immediately shook his hand and said.

"Yes. Now we still have 200,000 reserve troops, and we have mobilized another 500,000 from Sichuan, Yunnan, Guangxi, and Guizhou! It is expected that all will be in place in 5 days! There is no problem in holding the devil this time, the generals on the front line are fighting very hard, and today they sacrificed 3 more as major generals and division commanders, and a lieutenant general! Li Zongren looked at the commander and continued,

"Yes. All the generals who died were posthumously awarded the first rank, and the funeral was rich, and the pensions were all paid in place, if their families wished. All moved to Chongqing! The commander closed his eyes and said.

"Understood!" Li Zongren nodded,

"What's going on in Yan'an?" The commander asked.

"It's not very good, except for the independent division, all the other troops have retreated to the second line of defense. The sacrifice is also huge, so far, the data from the newspaper has sacrificed 150,000. The wounded are countless! Director Zhou came to me, hoping to buy a batch of medicines from our side to help the wounded, but our side is also very nervous, and we have more wounded! Li Zongren reported immediately.

"Give them evenly, they are all devils, without him to contain those devils, our casualties will be greater, besides, they are all Chinese, don't count at this time!" Something to say later! The commander said with a sigh.

"Well, haode, I'll go and inform Director Zhou tomorrow!" Li Zongren nodded.

"Independent division, ha, Hu Hao's brother is the division commander, and he is indeed very capable of fighting! It's a pity! The commander said with a wry smile.

"Report, Yan'an telegram!" A major general's adjutant immediately pushed the door in and said happily.

"Well, what's going on?" The commander immediately asked.

"Yan'an telegraphed, saying that the independent division had completely wiped out the 5 divisions and regiments that the devils had attacked, the North China commander Bin Sanyuan committed suicide, and the commanders of the other 5 divisions were all killed!" The major general said immediately, and when he had finished speaking, he handed the telegram to the commander-in-chief,

The eyes of the commander and Li Zongren immediately lit up, and the commander immediately stood up, took the telegram and read it.

"Okay, haha, that's good, there's finally good news!" After reading the telegram, the commander immediately said happily. Then he gave the telegram to Li Zongren, and Li Zongren immediately took it and looked at it with Chen Cheng.

"Yes, Hu Hao should be in the independent division, otherwise, Zhang Debiao would not have been able to achieve such a big record!" Li Zongren nodded and said immediately after reading the telegram.

"Huh?" The commander looked up at Li Zongren and asked him what he said.

"Commander, Hu Hao, that person, he likes to fight devils, especially fighting positional battles with devils, and even more, look at this statistic, the devils have basically been annihilated, so Hu Hao must have done it!" Li Zongren said immediately.

"Yes, too! Send a telegram to Yan'an, commend it, and notify Director Zhou tomorrow so that he can receive a reward of 600,000 fiat currency to the independent division! Plus, give them some medicines for free! The commander nodded.

Li Zongren and the other two people laughed in their hearts when they heard the commander say this, the commander is the commander, if he can wipe out the devils of 5 divisions on his side, not to mention 600,000 fiat currency, that is, when the commander is rewarded, his brows will not wrinkle, and how many generals will be promoted, but if the independent division wins, it will be 600,000 fiat currency, and the rest: no!

"Yes!" Although Li Zongren thought so in his heart, he still responded immediately.

"Well, I have an idea, you see if it will work, let Hu Hao take the independent division to the south, specifically fight the devils in the direction of Henan and Anhui, and our defense troops will form a flank attack inside and outside, and kill those devils who come to attack in one fell swoop, so as to solve the crisis of our northern defense line! What do you think? The commander immediately spoke his mind.

"Commander, it stands to reason that if the independent division can go south, it will be the best, their weapons are advanced, and Hu Hao is leading the team, if the independent division comes down, I estimate that the devil knows his name, either increase the strength or withdraw, but I estimate that it is impossible for the independent division to go south at this stage, and the pressure on their side is also very great, it is estimated that if the independent division does not go to reinforcements, it will soon retreat to the third line of defense!" Li Zongren immediately expressed his opinion, believing that it was impossible for the independent division to go south.

"Yes, too! By the way, you say they have new weapons, is there any evidence? Also, is this news true or not? The commander immediately asked.

"The news is true, but we haven't gotten a sample gun yet, this news came from our intelligence officers hiding on the devil's side, it's not wrong, the devil is also trying to get a sample gun, see if it can be produced,

Commander, do you remember, before they said that they wanted our production line of Chinese formal rifles, as well as two tungsten mines, we gave them to them, and they immediately sent troops south to kill the devils in Henan at that time, and the transport convoy of the independent division also drove down immediately,

Now that I think about it, it may be because they have already developed new weapons, but they have no way to produce tungsten ore, so when transporting, Yan'an actually sent 80% of the cars down, and I estimate that the tungsten ore they transported back at one time is enough for them to use for a year or two! Li Zongren immediately said what he had analyzed.

"Niang Xipi, let them be deceived again?" The commander immediately stood up angrily and scolded.

"I guess it's a dumbfounded idea!" Li Zongren said again, seeing the commander looking at him puzzled, Li Zongren immediately added:

"They first asked for the production line, and when we weren't sure whether the devils were going to fight the third Wuhan battle, we definitely couldn't give them a line of defense, and we didn't let go until it was determined.

But they didn't pay attention to the official production line at all, they wanted tungsten ore, and only that Hu Hao could think of such a ghost idea, and calculate our hearts accurately! After Li Zongren finished speaking, he smiled bitterly.

"This second stunned, I value him so much, he didn't come to my side! Forget it, it's not going to be said now, you notify Director Zhou to come to me tomorrow, and I'll ask him for that weapon! After the commander finished speaking, he explained to his adjutant.

"Yes!" The adjutant immediately saluted.

"Now it seems that there is no big problem on the Yan'an side, and the commander I have a suggestion to go south independently!" Li Zongren said immediately.

"Huh? Didn't you just say you couldn't go south? Why do you say that you want them to go south! The commander looked at Li Zongren strangely,

"Commander, you think, they will definitely not go south now, but we are going to say now that once the crisis in Yan'an is resolved, the independent division must go south immediately! If it's too late! And there is an advantage to letting the independent division go south, that is, to consume the combat effectiveness of the independent division as much as possible! Li Zongren immediately said what he thought.

"Yes, yes, that makes sense! The independent division must go south! The commander nodded as soon as he heard this.

"That's right, the independent division must be allowed to go south, their combat effectiveness is too terrible, one division can fight with 5 divisions, and they can also wipe out all the devils, this is something that none of our group armies can do, we must control his development!" He Yingqin also said next to him immediately.

"I also suggested this, the independent division and even the independent army are developing so fast that we don't know how powerful their combat effectiveness is! That's why I also suggest sending officers to the Independence Army! They are also our national troops, and according to the agreement we signed before, they can be dispatched! Chen Cheng also added immediately! (To be continued......)
